In the old days, if the coach succeeded in ‘turning out a team that beat its hated rival, the reason was considered to have been a suc- cess, It's different now. The huge stadiums a number of colleges have bullt in recent years have considerably changed the status of the coach. There Is a big overhead connected with those stadiums, In order to meet it and incidentally make enough money to tide over sports that do not draw like football, the coach must annually turn out a winner. The coach who has the happy faculty of some way developing a winner in foothall is always in de- mand. When the gridiron prestige of a college begins to wane, the athletic board immediately starts to flirt with the successful mentor. Many New Methods This season will see new methods installed in different sections of the country. A number of the leading colleges have changed their coach- ing systems. In an cffort to cut a swath in southern football circles, Trinity has Howard Jones as coach. At Towa Jones met with great success, fcated Yale, his alma mater, in an intersectional clash. Trinity Jooks for Jones to put it on the football map. He should. On the F ¢ coast, Stanford, | tired of baving California hog the | spotlight, has Glenn Warner, who made history at University of Pitts- burgh as coach.

Red Sox Title Play + Kelipsed Al Others. New. York, Sept. 25. — From a spectacular viewpoint, the world's series of 1922 in which the New York Yankees turned back the New York Giants and climbed the cham- plonship peak after two previously unasuccessful battles with the Mc- Grawmen, eclipsed any on recofd, but the palm for the hardest-fought title struggle goes to the famous series between the Gilants and Bos ton Red Sox in 1912, In that memorable fight for pre- mier dlamond honors a dozen years ago, the rival clans, led by John McGraw and Jake Stahl, fought through eight games, including an 11-inning tie, before the Red Sox galned the verdict. Comjng from behind after apparently being hope- lesaly beaten, the Glants captured two games in a row, only to drop the elghth and deciding game in 10 butterly contested innings by a count of 3 to 2, with a fatal error by Fred Snodgrass, Giant outflelder, causing a defeat that was heart-breaking to the National léaguers and their pra- mier mound ace, Christy Mathew- son. Observers of that series recall that so nerve-wracking was the siruggle, played for the most part in cold weather and under the han- dicap of frequent hops back and forth between the two scenes of ac- tien, that players were scarcely able to control their emotions in the final game. When it was all over rival managers declared their belief that their men could not have stood the strain of fufther comfPetition. On only one other occasion has the series gone .the limit of games before a decision was reached. That was in 1909 wheén the Pittsburgh Pirates triumphed over the Detroit Tigers. Each club won on alterna- tive days in this battle until the Pirates made it four out of sevs with Babe Adams figuring as t outstanding hero with three of Pittsburgh triumphs to his credit. In 1903, series rules called for th3 best five out of nine games to de- cide the championship and it took eight contests before the Boston Americans vanquished Pittsburgh. With the same regulation prevalling, elght games were required before Cincinnati took the measure of the Chicagé White Sox in 1919 and the Giants downed the Yankees in 1921, while Cleveland and Brooklyn met soven times in 1920 before the In- The seven-game m]‘a has been in effect again since 1921, The quickest series on record was that of 1914 when the Boston Braves after thelr sensational pennant drive, overthrew Connie Mack's Athletics in four straight games. The Chica- 80 Cubs, conquering Detroit in 1907, and the Giants, downing the Yan- kees in 1922, also hung up records of four victories and no defeats, but in each of these instances a tie game prevented a clean sweep.

The score was § to 0, Fuller twirled cautiously all the way, permitting but six hits while his mates fielded brilllantly and sen- satlonally. The Orloles were unable to bunch their few safeties to ad- vantage and threw away several chances through poor base-running, Jack Ogden pitched fair ball for the International league champs but Bot away to a poor start. He also weakened in the eighth inning and was found for three tallles which Just about sewed up the game. Carl, Schmehl tripled along the right field foul line to lead oft in the first inning and Demoe walked. Moe Solomon singled cleanly to right and Schmeh! scored, Demoe halting at second. Yordy forced Demoe at third on the next play and Long forced Solomon at the same sack a moment later, Graham singled sharply to left but Yordy was nip- ped‘at the plate, Jacobs to McCarty, The Orioles threatened in the sec- ond when Sheedy doubled to left af- ter one was out, but the next two men were easy for Fuller—both be. ing retired on infield grounders. The Brasscoes pushed another across in the second. Joe Boley booted Burke's grounder to start it off and Aleck Schauffell fluked a hit into short right. When Tomlin kick- ed the ball, Burke continued to third, Fuller dumped a 'Texas leaguer into right field and Burke scored. Schmehl fanned after that and a double play followed. That was all the sco:ing until the eighth. Here Schmehl walked and Demoe doubled to left, Schmehl pull- ing up at third. Soiomon was pur- posely passed, filling the hases. Yordy hoisted to Jacobs and Schmehl counted after the catch. Long bunt- ed along the third base chalk mark but Malsel threw wildly to first and Demoe and Solomon scored. That wah all but it was plenty—for Fuller kept up his blanking tactics in the ninth. The score: BALTIMOR A.B. Maisel, 3b Connelly, rf .. Jacobs, It . Jacobson, cf ..... Shed.
